LIKE - expressions (LD 1)

**EXPRESSIONS WITH LIKE**

(Leadership 1)

The expression “like” can express different meanings: verb, preposition and conjunction.

a) When we want to talk about our preferences, we use “like” as a verb:

EG: I like to play soccer.

I like that movie!

b) When we want to express similarity, we use “like” as a preposition, but after the verbs look, seem, feel, taste and sound.

EG: Pillar looks like her mother.

It seems like you’re doing the right thing.

c) When we want to express comparison, we use “like” as a preposition too.

EG: He talks like a child.

There are many means of transportation in this city like* bus, taxi, train.

* Notice that in this case, the preposition “like” can be substitute by “such as”, and the meaning continues the same.

d) When we want to express in the same manner as or as if, we use “like” as a conjunction:

EG: Neither Jane nor Larry draw cartoons like he did.

We sing like those famous singers.

*Pay attention not to confuse letters C and D.

Letter C – After the preposition “like”, we have a noun (or an article (a/an)+ noun).

EG: He talks like a child. (article + noun)

There are many means of transportation in this city like bus, taxi, train. (nouns).

Letter D – After the conjunction “like”, we have a pronoun.

EG: Neither Jane nor Larry draw cartoons like he did. (he = personal pronoun).

We sing like those famous singers. (those = demonstrative pronoun).


If you have more doubts, tell me, ok?!
